Behold my vision for Trans Forms! FTM Binders new line, (As Colorful as We Are!)

ENOUGH with the ABDOMINAL binders, ace bandages, and maguiver tape - that is destroying our backs! Many of us may have a long time to wait before we can save up enough for chest reconstruction.

It’s time there was some variety on our market. Why can I only find chest binders and compression shirts in beige, black and white? Not only are many of us fabulous and require fancy outfits, but something this simple can add a nice touch to the way we rep’ ourselves.

I believe there should also be binders in multiple skin tones. People who want something subtle can’t just slap on a black or white binder, have their 8 t-shirts ride up on each other, and not be obviously wearing compression gear. For those who need neutrality, subtlety, stealth - we need binders that match our skin tones!

—————————————
NOW HOLD UP. These items are NOT YET ready for sale. BUT AREN’T THEY GORGEOUS????

Who wants one? I will start keeping count, so consider this a poll. Which do you want to see most? Do you want them ALL? If I can prove the interest, these are very real possibilities, and then we can start developing them in more styles, sizes, strengths and materials.

Hi, I wanted to write something in response to the “a note on binders” post talking about black binders. I just wanted to say, you shouldn’t buy the white or black binder solely because you prefer one color over the other. The black binder and the white binder have different textures to them,…

 I’ve worn both white and black binders from Underworks. I haven’t been able to tell a difference in textures, but if you have dry skin the black binder can be slightly more itchy. The only difference I can feel between the two is that the seams near the arm pits of the black binders are rougher and can irritate your skin. To remedy this, I suggest applying some baby rash cream. Its worked for me and has prevented dark marks on my skin caused by excessive fabric rubbing.

Chest binding is a way for many trans men to curb dysphoria, and is a fairly common step in FTM transition. “Binding” refers to flattening breast tissue to create a male-appearing chest using a variety of materials and methods. While binding with common household items is an inexpensive route, it can also be unsafe. Chest Binding 101 is your guide to how to bind safely, where to get a chest binder, how to choose a binder that best suits you, and how to put on your binder.
